    I mean, I do my best, normally, to actually admit and thus learn from mistakes.

    I’m of the age now where I’ve realized I’m probably not going to be able to change my seemingly fundamentally inexorable bullheadedness when I am, for whatever reason, very convicted about something.

    … So, that necessitates the self awareness to realize 1) that I am wrong 2) how I came to be wrong and 3) how I can try to avoid being wrong in the future.

    … currently, my conclusion remains the same: Do not attempt a logical argument when exhausted and very hungry.

    lol.

    … I’m doing much better than a year ago, PTSD is not fun, learning how to disengage from hypervigilance mode … is a skill, hooray for CBT.

      I’m gonna say the same to you I said to my GP when she tried to prescribe CBT for my ADHD diagnosis - I do not see how beating my balls to a pulp could be considered therapeutic.

        The trick is calming down, and seriously considering, as if you were an outside observer of yourself…

        why you like having a chasity cage clamped on you, what environment triggers cause you to desire dommy mommy stepping on them, and then realizing that, with awareness, you can choose to instead perhaps, jam a rod into your utethra.

        Its kind of a zen thing, sort of.

        (ahem, lol =P)
